A novel dispersin protein in enteroaggregative Escherichia coli
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a diarrheal pathogen defined by its characteristic aggregative adherence (AA) to HEp-2 cells in culture. We have previously shown that EAEC strains secrete a 10-kDa protein that is immunogenic in a human EAEC challenge model. We report here that this protein is encoded by a gene (called aap) lying immediately upstream of that encoding the AggR transcriptional...
